LCA "COPY" SAAB-37
even my year old kid can recognize the difference between the two of em
I kindly suggest you to look at your post and consider editing it

wrong!I think he means the basic outline of the figher
wrong!
LCA design was done hiring Dassault as consultant. The LCA is a small delta-winged machine with "relaxed static stability" (RSS) to enhance maneuverability performance. If there any other aircraft that has resemblance then it is Mirage.
Duck wing +LCA=SAAB-37
one crucial difference
The American stealth fighters were all new technology.
That means huge amounts of R&D
The JF-17 is not cutting edge.
Its development did not require huge amounts of new technology
Its capabilities are tailored to be Pakistan's J-10.
You didn't develop a new engine
you went with an existing model.
In fact what major technology had to be newly developed specifically for the JF-17.
Most of its R&D was developing variant's of existing technology the Chinese already had.
Correct me if i am mistaken but, other than the avionics suit, was there any R&D for new tech.
Americans already had quite a bit of knowledge of stealth technology. They were already using F-117 and had gained lot of information from that project.
We never claimed JF-17 was a cutting edge technology. It is being claimed as poor man's F-16.
A new engine is under development and is presently being tested. To speed up the development Russian engine was selected. By the way you are still looking for an engine for the LCA Tejas, aren't you.
I shall only name one technology used in it and that is DSI. It was never before attempted in any of the fighters developed by China and therefore should qualify as cutting edge.
Again if you look at prototype 1 and the later prototypes you should be able to find differences.
